Festival paella catering for Woodcote Green events
How our festival paella catering works in Woodcote Green
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook vegan paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we are often booked for county and country shows and festivals.
In Woodcote Green, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Is live paella right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

- Served hot, straight from the pan

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

- Parking and unloading

Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
